My passion lies in doing depth psychotherapy, which involves making unconscious processes conscious and facilitating others in developing insight into their emotions and behaviors. I also particularly enjoy working with eating disorders and body image, food related, or compulsive exercise issues. However, I am happy to work with most difficulties people struggle with in their daily lives.

Compassion, Integrity, Experience

"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; Who looks inside, awakens." -Carl Jung

As human beings, we often need help and guidance to be able to look deeply enough into our own hearts to truly heal and awaken, and to actualize our own unique nature. It is Debora's passion as a therapist to help others interested in this process.

I specialize in grief, loss and life transition issues of all kind, including depression, anxiety and trauma. I am EMDR trained and am a mindfulness meditation instructor. See http://www.bethspatterson.com for more information and to schedule an appointment. With my compassionate guidance, you can transform grief and loss into healing and growth. I offer a free half-hour consultation.

It is important to develop both a trusting and a comfortable relationship between you and your therapist as this is the essential predictor for success in the therapeutic process. I have practiced individual and family therapy for over seventeen years, giving me the chance to see how motivation and behavior changes can help alleviate stressful issues and problems. Family therapy can be very helpful with children and teens' risk factors through a strength-based relational model and with proven complimentary behavior change interventions. If I am doing my job well then you have a better chance of experiencing great benefits, which is why having regular feedback about the process can make a difference. I have had the honor of working with many family members over the years and hope that you'll call for a free thirty minute consultation.
